SICILIAN MEAT ROLL 
2 beaten eggs
3/4 c. soft bread crumbs (1 slice)
1/2 c. tomato sauce
2 tbsp. snipped parsley
1/2 tsp. dried, crushed oregano
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 lbs. lean ground beef or 1 lb. beef and 1 lb. ground turkey
8 thin slices prosciutto
6 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese
3 slices Mozzarella cheese, halved

Combine eggs, crumbs, sauce, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic. Add meat and mix well. On waxed paper or foil, pat meat to a 12x10 inch rectangle.

Arrange prosciutto atop meat, leaving a small margin around edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese over prosciutto.

Starting from short end, carefully roll up meat, using paper to lift; seal edges and ends. Place roll, seam side down, in 13x9x2 inch baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees until done, 1 1/4 hours (center of roll will be pink due to prosciutto). Place cheese wedges over top of roll; return to oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
